The Student Body of the Richmond
Division of the College of William
and Mary has received an invitation
to the marriage of Miss Phoebe Read

Mr. Anton Hofer Thiermann, Jr.,
son of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Thiermann
of this city, on Tuesday, December
21, at the Washington Street Metho­dist
Episcopal Church South, Peters­burg,
Virginia, at four.
The bride will be given in marri­age

Speaker Impresses Large Group
With Brmiance Of Address
And Delivery
David Wadsworth Cannon, Jr., di­rector
of the Virginia State College
speaking choir, and a member of the
National Council on Religion and
Higher Education board of directors,
demonstrated an unusual technique
in platform speaking last Thursday
when he spoke on "Studies in Auto­biography."
With unexpected suddenness, the
audience af over 125 persons soon
realized that Mr. Cannon was more
than talking on a psychological
stUdy on which he will shortly write
a Doctor of Philosophy thesis. With
surprise they watched him demon­strate
how a resonant, expressive
voice, accompanied with graCeful
body action, powerful hand gestures,
and impressive head and eye move­ments
painted a distinct picture
which cold words would have left
blurred.
The speaker's topic hinged on the
point ,that the person who truly gets
"even the slightest inSight into the
nature of man understands some­thing
about the essential nature of
the universe."
Mr. Cannon said that in minority
groups, where people are pressed in
on all sides by ,their environment,
it is easier for an interviewer to
"get under the skin" of these peo.­ple
and understand the essence of
their living.
He flayed the methods of some
psychologists who study unrelated,
isolated factors in a subject's life,
and give allegedly ~ientific con­clusions
from such a study.
The sensitive problem of adoles­cent
psychology cannot be written
by a middle aged woman who sits
behind a college desk, the speaker
affirmed. Such a study must come
frOm the adolescent people them.­selves
who are living the furies and
'Storms of their own periods, Mr.
Cannon said as tpough taking the
audience into his confidence.
In talking about the meaning of
life, the speaker said that reality is
what the subject experiences, and
any interpretation of experiences is
reality whether or not it may be
